Football: Northwest's Kevin Eagan Not Ready To Make A Decision

It's national signing day and across the nation high school football players are declaring officially where they intend to play their college ball, but Northwest Catholic-West Hartford lineman Kevin Eagan isn't one those seniors ready to sign on the dotted line just yet.

Northwest Catholic coach Mike Tyler said Eagan will not be part of the school's signing day ceremony this afternoon.

Eagan, a 6-foot-4, 235-pound defensive end, is deciding between UConn and Rutgers.

"He's just unsure and he's trying to make up his mind," Tyler said. "Because he's not 100 percent one way or the other he's going to wait. It could be tomorrow, it could be the next day, I just don't know."

Eagan was offered a scholarship by UConn coach Randy Edsall in early December. Rutgers came into the recruiting picture late for Eagan and he visited the school this past weekend.

"He's liked both places tremendously," Tyler said. "He liked Randy [Edsall] and he liked [Rutgers coach] Greg Schiano and all of that, but he's just not sure right now.

Eagan also had an offer from Temple and was being recruited heavily by Boston College, though the Eagles never offered him a scholarship.
